Are Your Kidneys Healthy? 6 Warning Signs to Look Out For

Posted by Guest Writer · December 03, 2020

Did you know that your kidneys are your body’s primary filtration system? These fist-sized organs clean your blood and rid your body of unnecessary waste. Once your blood flows into the kidneys and excess fluids and toxins are filtered out, your blood returns to the bloodstream, while the wastes pass out of the body through urine.

Several factors could cause waste to build up in your blood, such as your diet, pre-existing kidney damage, or diabetes. Suppose you have a condition that impacts your kidneys. In that case, they likely can’t filter out toxins efficiently, which can cause even more damage and lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), if left untreated. Pay close attention to your physical health, and listen to your body if it begins to impact your daily life.
